Jovial Crew revived operetta at Covent Garden
A lengthy review chronicles the revived Jovial Crew at Covent Garden tied to the Beggar's Opera style. It follows Mr Oldrents and his daughters Meriel and Rachel as a fortune foretelling ruin drives a comic plot with disguises, beggars, lovers, and a final happy union, praising lively songs by Beard and Brent and noting the play’s generally agreeable entertainment value.
